Profile:

An uncompromising man, and the inventor of bodyline, Arthur Carr captained England and Nottinghamshire. His greatest success was bringing Nottingham their first championship for 22 years in 1929, based on his two young fast bowlers, Larwood and Voce. Carr inspired much loyalty amongst his players, and his strong support of Larwood after the 1932-33 tour likely caused a premature end to his cricketing career both as player and administrator. Notably, the Notts committee were forced to apologise after leg theory tactics were used against the Australians and Middlesex in 1934, and Lancashire threatened to cancel fixtures. After much political strife Carr was replaced as captain, and ended his association with the county. He captained England in 1926, and was much criticized after he chose to put Australia in on a wet wicket at Leeds after leaving out Parker, the best wet wicket bowler in the country. After dropping out in the course of the 4th Test with tonsillitis, he was to the surprise of many replaced as captain by Chapman in the 5th Test, and never played for England again. He was a fine attacking right hand bat, particularly favouring the straight drive, and an excellent field. As a captain he was aggressive, at times inspiring, and controversial (Dave Liverman, 1998).
